apparently some people were seriously offended by how extremely sexist it is. O.o

I don't know, I just didn't get a sexist vibe from it. Sometimes things are blatantly sexist... other times people just try to make too much out of something that isn't trying to be offensive in the first place.

yeah, as mentioned in one of my blogs, my parents read way too much into Pandamonium. They thought it was USA attacking China.

I think it's awesome. The woman could just have easily had another toy and it wouldn't have changed it; but little girls do have a total thing for stuffed toys.

advertising for any of those toys on TV is sexist, the marketers use gender roles as a tool. You wont see any little girls in commercials for super soakers, or RC cars, nor will you see any little boys in commercials for teddy bears.

the shirt isnt sexist, but some of these comments are - the shirt can be taken any way the viewer perceives it, because it doesnt present any dominant trends about gendered notions in our society, and because there is nothing dictating the point of view of the creator on gender when this was made - however, while i agree that advertisers use gender roles in deciding who to advertise to [although i think there have been girls in supersoaker commercials, actually[, perhaps it would be prudent to examine what leads to the gendered notions in the first place. it is foolish to assume that just because girls buy toys [or rather, have toys bought for them] which reinforce their gender role, that they actually prefer these toys. perhaps it is a result of advertising, perhaps it is a result of parents encouraging "correctly" gendered behavior, but to say that generally "little girls do totally have a thing for stuffed animals" is to fall victim to what our society wants you to think about gender.
and i could probably explain this better, but its just a rant, so...whatever. byes.

p.s. i really like this shirt [since that is kind of the actual topic]

How is this shirt sexist? I just don't see it! I think the t-shirt's got a nice and funny idea behind it. Goes to show some people's sense of humour...
